@Michelle-H2020

1st you should move to CalendarExt3, as ext2 is not really supported anymore…

@MMRIZE can you help here?

Michelle.H2020

@sdetweil ahh ok let me try the ext3 I had only used this one because of a youtube video that I was following, and a calander that finally actually worked for me as the others were not showing up on the screen.

sdetweil

@Michelle-H2020 ext no longer reads the calendar itself, but relies on the built in calendar module to do that and broadcast the event data and Ext3 reads that broadcast…

you can have the default cal not on screen (no position), but still broadcasting so there is a decent amount of change, but ext3 does honor some MM positions, so you can have it lower,

@sdetweil

I get a bunch of red errors when trying to run the Ext 3

{
  module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
  position: "bottom_bar",
  title: "test",
  config: {
    mode: "month",
    instanceId: "basicCalendar",
    locale: 'de-DE',
    maxEventLines: 5,
    firstDayOfWeek: 1,
    calendarSet: "my test",
   
  }
},
{
  module: "calendar",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    broadcastPastEvents: true, 
    calendars: [
      {
        
	url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/XXXXXXXXX/public/basic.ics",
        name: "test", 
        color: "red",
      },

I use this and get the error
01.11.2023 17:10.06.203] [ERROR] WARNING! Could not validate config file. Starting with default configuration. Please correct syntax errors at or above this line: /home/mirror/MagicMirror/config/config.js:186

not sure where the error is

sdetweil

@Michelle-H2020 So what is above line 186 where the semicolon is?

MMRIZE

@Michelle-H2020
CX2 doesn’t respect usual MM’s positioning. It manage number of “views” in multi-positions, so you need to assign position to each “view”, not module itself.
Read manuals.

And other documents also.

sdetweil

@MMRIZE I think she’s trying EXT 3 now
